More to come...

Shouldn't you be putting this in the model and books forum?

Very nice, I like the netting on the Sherman. I really must continue my Firefly at some point. :yep:

Jim put his thread here. I even stole his thread title. :O:

I made it out of some gauze.

Lecturing people who've been here for a decade?

The thread looks fine here and I'm ever so impressed with the thread title :03:

That's a fine collection you have there TLAM...reminds me of the days when my eyesight allowed me to build 1/35 armour but in particular 1/700 maritime :sunny:

Do you have any 1/700 maritime?

Maybe what he should have put is 'In before Steve - We have a dedicated forum...' :O:

And so what he's been here for a decade, it's not like he contributes to anything or is a fount of knowledge...? :hmmm:

Oh wait! That TLAM "CIA World Factbook (and more)" Strike, you should've said. :03:

Nice pics by the way, but take that sticker of the printer, please!!!

Gauze is a great idea for netting. I bet it would work well to simulate netting on a fishing boat model. :yep:

Oranges are often packaged in plastic mesh sacks which would also do that job.

That looks like a hairball out of the vacuum?:D j/k

@Jim I'm working on a diorama with the SS John Brown that's 1/700. I'm also building ( at the same time:dead:) a diorama with a Japanese tanker, Jap destroyer and US sub, also 1/700. The tanker has photo etched parts and was pretty spendy:dead:. I haven't started the tanker yet.:oops:

@ TLAM,
Those are some nice lookin' subs.:salute:

What do you guys use for stripping paint from a plastic model shell? Some folks recommend Pine Sol or 91% isopropyl alcohol.

I've used Testors thinner to limited effectiveness. I've never really had much luck stripping pain.

I understand Pine Sol will work fairly well but it takes a long time (24 hours or so) but 91% Isopropyl Alcohol will work faster and is less likely to damage the plastic.
